The quality, depth and wealth of any forensic conference are determined by the contributions of the experts and their willingness to share their latest results and insights with the forensic community. This book can be used as a guide to quickly scope the content of the presentations and to ensure you optimize your personal EAFS2012 program. Additionally, it can be used as a reference after the conference and you can share the content with the colleagues who could not attend. To find the location where a presentation is held, please use the program book or the daily program sheets in your conference package. The book provides the abstracts of all lectures and workshops. In total 225 lectures and 43 workshops will be presented at EAFS2012. These contributions are part of any of the 11 parallel Theme or Special sessions that have been arranged accordingly in the abstract book. For EAFS2012 a choice was made to break with the boundaries of the traditional forensic expertise areas and to create truly interdisciplinary sessions in line with the “Towards Forensic Science 2.0” philosophy: Theme 1 - Innovative Forensic Science and Technology Theme 2 - Innovation of Processes in Forensic Investigation Theme 3 - Strength of Forensic Evidence Theme 4 - Education, Training and Assessment of Professionals in the Criminal Justice System Theme 5 - Forensic Cooperation and Communication Special 1 - Forensic Application of Special and Unconventional Tools and Expertise Special 2 - Scene of Crime Special 3 - Forensic Databases Special 4 - Soil Forensics I have always wanted to give my view on . Demo Lab Please note that these abstracts can also be obtained electronically from the conference website (www.eafs2012.eu) until the first of January 2013. Additionally this abstract book lists all poster titles, corresponding authors and assigned poster categories. Over 344 posters will be presented at EAFS2012. Each poster will be available during the entire week of the conference. A novelty will be the digital presentation of a number of posters. This will include interesting options, such as forwarding the poster to your personal email address. 6 7 To accommodate fast scoping for relevant poster material in your particular field of expertise, the poster categories are more in line with the traditional forensic expertise areas: • Biological Forensic Science • Chemical and Analytical Forensic Science (including Spectroscopy) • Digital Forensic Science • Firearms, Marks, Physical Fit, (Electron)Microscopy, Image Comparison • Forensic Biometrics • Forensic Engineering and Environmental Forensic Science • Forensic Medicine • Forensic Statistics, Interdisciplinary investigations and Forensic Databases • Quality and Process Management • Scene of Crime, CBRNE and Disaster Victim Identification • Other The number of posters is too large to include the poster abstracts in this book. However, the author’s information and all poster abstracts can be found on the EAFS2012 website. If provided by the author, the complete poster can be directly downloaded from the website as well. To find the poster category of your interest, please use the poster plan in your conference package. When you visit and study the posters at the conference, please do not forget to vote for your favourite poster at one of the voting booths at the conference. Details on the voting process will be provided during the conference and at the poster presentations. The selection of the best poster is a two-step process at EAFS2012. Based on the votes by the participants a top 10 list will be presented. Subsequently, a delegation of the Scientific Committee will assess this top 10 and select the winner. On Thursday evening, during the conference dinner, the EAFS2012 Best Poster Award will be announced and presented to the author(s). Arian van Asten Chair of the EAFS2012 Scientific Committee 6 7 Plenary speakers PLENARY SPEAKER August, 21 Where does Forensic Science 2 .0 Lead Us? To the Crime Scene! 8:30 - 9:15 ROOM: AUDITORIUM KP Inman California State University East Bay, United States of America ABSTRACT Imagine a homicide occurring that includes the bludgeoning of a victim within an apartment dwelling. How might Forensic Science 2.0 be used to determine what happened, and who was responsible? The forensic science team is dispatched to the location equipped with 2.0 capabilities. In a sequence of steps performed without entering the dwelling, they send in micro- miniature video- and laser/GPS-equipped hoverbots, photographing and documenting every object within the scene. A preliminary Virtopsy is performed on the victim in situ, and information regarding the blunt force injuries is gathered. Combining all of this information, specific items are chosen for examination at the scene. Fiber-detecting scanners are aimed at the clothing of the victim, and 150-200 green polyester fibers are found clustered in the chest and forearm area of the shirt. The criminalist sends out a message on Critr (Criminalistics Information and Technology Resource) inquiring about the abundance and persistence of this fiber/dye type. Within minutes he is directed to 13 databases containing the data requested. The fibers were likely deposited within the past three hours, within the time frame of the victim’s death. Based on the Virtopsy, a set of dimensions for the blunt weapon is inferred. These dimensions are compared to a database of the items in the apartment collected by the camera hoverbots, and no clear matches are obtained, suggesting that the perpetrator took the implement with him. Significant bloodstain patterns are discovered within the apartment. The GPS/Laser hoverbots measure each stain, and software analyzes the pattern. Two stains are located that do not fit within the blunt force pattern. The DNA from these two blood stains is typed and searched in the DNA database, resulting in a hit to Fred Flintstone. Investigators use this information to scan surveillance video of the surrounding area; Fred Flintstone, wearing a blue shirt, is located two miles from the homicide. Mr. Flintstone is stopped and interviewed in the field. The officer notes that Mr. Flintstone has a recent, bleeding wound on one hand. Mr. Flintstone is invited to the police station for questioning. 10 11 All of this occurs at the scene, within two hours of the initial report of the homicide. What is required for this Forensic Science 2.0 scenario to occur? The moniker “2.0” began with vague and controversial definitions related to the Internet (the World Wide Web), but over the years seems to have settled into the use of • A browser and the Web as a universal access platform • Universal and connected software • Harnessing collective intelligence through o Data aggregated from a wide variety of sources o Interactive collaboration Techniques for imaging and object recognition, rapid (field) evidence analysis, ubiquitous research and data access, data mining, and instantaneous professional interactivity, connecting them all with a common platform for searching and communication, form the backbone of the 2.0 laboratory. A key consequence of the deployment and utilization of this 2.0 technology is that evidence is not merely located and analyzed, but that greater insight is gained into the meaning of the evidence in the context of the case in a timely manner. Vast data storehouses coupled with real-time collaboration and interactivity provides vital clues at a time when it makes the most difference to the investigation, which is within the first 48 hours of the commission/discovery of the crime. This is also the time when the greatest uncertainty exists about what happened and who was involved in what activity. Forensic science will contribute important information during those early hours when the direction of the investigation is determined. Our discipline has much more to contribute to the solution of crimes than post hoc testing of a detective’s theory, and development of 2.0 capabilities will stake a claim for our involvement within the earliest investigative processes. 10 11 PLENARY SPEAKER August, 21 Current advances and future perspectives in forensic molecular biology 13:45 - 14:30 ROOM: AUDITORIUM M Kayser Dept.

Fennica 2:53-66. The distribution and occmTence, with the time-factor taken into consideration, were monitored in Finland for the mainly dung-living histerid genera Margarinotus, Hister, and Atholus (all predators), and for the Scarabaeidae genera Onthophagus and Aphodius, in which almost all species are dung-feeders. All available records from Finland of the 54 species studied were gathered and distribution maps based on the UTM grid are provided for each species with brief comments on the occmTence of the species today. Within the Histeridae the following species showed a decline in their occurrence: Margarinotus pwpurascens, M. neglectus, Hister funestus, H. bissexstriatus and Atholus bimaculatus, and within the Scarabaeidae: Onthophagus nuchicornis, 0. gibbulus, O.fracticornis, 0 . similis , Aphodius subterraneus, A. sphacelatus and A. merdarius. The four Onthophagus species and A. sphacelatus disappeared in the 1950s and 1960s and are at present probably extinct in Finland. Changes in the agricultural ecosystems, caused by different kinds of changes in the traditional husbandry, are suggested as a reason for the decline in the occuJTence of certain vulnerable species.

Pringle,1 Ph.D.; John Jervis,1 M.Res.; John P. Cassella,2 Ph.D.; and Nigel J. Cassidy,1 Ph.D. Time-Lapse Geophysical Investigations over a Simulated Urban Clandestine Grave* ABSTRACT: A simulated clandestine shallow grave was created within a heterogeneous, made-ground, urban environment where a clothed, plastic resin, human skeleton, animal products, and physiological saline were placed in anatomically correct positions and re-covered to ground level. A series of repeat (time-lapse), near-surface geophysical surveys were undertaken: (1) prior to burial (to act as control), (2) 1 month, and (3) 3 months post-burial. A range of different geophysical techniques was employed including: bulk ground resistivity and conductivity, fluxgate gradi- ometry and high-frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR), soil magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and self potential (SP). Bulk ground resistivity and SP proved optimal for initial grave location whilst ERT profiles and GPR horizontal ‘‘time-slices’’ showed the best spatial resolutions. Research suggests that in complex urban made-ground environments, initial resistivity surveys be collected before GPR and ERT follow-up surveys are collected over the identified geophysical anomalies. KEYWORDS: forensic science, forensic geophysics, clandestine grave Forensic geophysical methods should be important for forensic enough to deposit the victim before back-filling with excavated soil victim search investigations.

  • Dartington Report on Beetles 2015
    Report on beetles (Coleoptera) collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2015 by Dr Martin Luff 1. Introduction and Methods The majority of beetle recording in 2015 was concentrated on three sites and habitats: 1. Further sampling of moss on the Deer Park wall (SX794635), as mentioned in my 2014 report. This was done on two dates in March by MLL and again in October, aided by Messrs Tony Allen and Clive Turner, both experienced coleopterists. 2. Beetles associated with the decomposing body of a dead deer. The recently (accidentally) killed deer was acquired on 12th May by Mike Newby who pegged it out under wire netting in the small wood adjacent to 'Flushing Meadow', here referred to as 'Flushing Copse' (SX802625). The body was lifted regularly and beaten over a collecting tray, initially every week, then fortnightly and then monthly until early October. In addition, two pitfall traps were installed just beside the corpse, with a small amount of preservative in each. These were emptied each time the site was visited. 3. Water beetles sampled on 28th October, together with Tony Allen and Clive Turner, from the ponds and wheel-rut puddles on Berryman's Marsh (SX799615). Other work again included the contents of the nest boxes from Dartington Hills and Berrymans Marsh at the end of October, thanks to Mike Newby and his volunteer helpers. 2. Results In all, 203 beetle species were recorded in 2015, of which 85 (41.8%) were additions to the Dartington list. This increase over the 32% new in 2014 (Luff, 2015) results partly from sampling habitats (carrion, fresh-water) not previously examined.

Forensic anthropology is the application of the anatomical science of anthropology and its various subfields, including forensic archaeology and forensic taphonomy , [1] in a legal setting. In addition to revealing the age, sex, size, stature, health, and ethnic population of the decedent, an examination of the skeleton may reveal evidence concerning pathology and any antemortem before death , perimortem at the time of death , or postmortem after death trauma. September Investigations often begin with a ground search team using cadaver dogs or a low-flying plane to locate a missing body or skeleton. It is also recommended that individuals looking to pursue a forensic anthropology profession get experience in dissection usually through a gross anatomy class as well as useful internships with investigative agencies or practicing anthropologists.

    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Beitr. Naturk. Oberösterreichs 10 125-208 28.12.2001 Coleopteren aus Oberösterreich gesammelt von Prof. Dr. Josef Weis, Traun (Insecta: Coleoptera) zusammengestellt von K. SCHMÖLZER A b s t r a c t: For the first time the beetle collection of OStR Prof. Dr. Josef Weis, Traun near Linz, is evaluated, critically studied and updated concerning taxonomy, systematics and nomenclature. 903 species of 64 families are listed, two fifth of all species belong to Carabidae and Staphylinidae. Information about collecting dates and localities derive from Prof. Weis's collecting protocols. Vorwort Am 2. Mai 1999 ist in seinem Heim in Traun Herr OStR. Prof. Dr. Josef Weis nach langer Krankheit verstorben. Dr. Weis hat unmittelbar nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkriegs das Biologie-Studium mit dem Hauptfach Zoologie an der Universität Innsbruck begon- nen und mit der Lehrbefähigung für Allgemeinbildende Höhere Schulen, sowie dem Doktorat abgeschlossen. Seine Dissertation galt der Erforschung der Blattläuse Ober- österreichs; der 1. Teil dieser Arbeit ist in der Österr. Zool. Zeitschrift 1955 (Bd. V, Heft 4, p. 464-559) erschienen. Dr. Weis hat seine Unterrichtsverpflichtung sehr ernst genommen und war ein ausge- zeichneter Biologielehrer. So hat ihm die Unterrichtsvorbereitung kaum Zeit gelassen, sich weiter der besonders arbeitsaufwendigen Untersuchung der Aphiden zuzuwenden. Die Verbundenheit mit der Natur, der Flora und Fauna, ganz besonders der Arthropoden- fauna, war ihm aber stets eine Selbstverständlichkeit. So hat er sich sowohl im Unter- richt, als auch besonders bei Exkursionen, Schulausflügen und Schullandwochen der Tierwelt, besonders der Kleintierwelt Oberösterreichs angenommen. Seine besondere Zuwendung galt dabei den Käfern, sodaß aus dieser, sich über mehrere Jahrzehnte er- streckenden Sammeltätigkeit schließlich eine Käfersammlung erwuchs, die u.a.
